Skill speed on WAR isn't useless because of 2 things. 1 - After a certain threshold, you can fit an extra attack during berserk. 2 - Faster generation of Wrath
Skill speed on PLD in my opinion has less of an effect and CAN be bad for TP, but if you can manage a stoneskin every 3-4 RoH rotations, your TP will last. (TP burn as OT for max dmg, RoH rotation + stoneskin as MT for damage mitigation + TP conservation)
